 DPT Vaccine Side Effects Lawyer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The DPT vaccine may cause serious side effects such as an allergic reaction, prolonged seizure, decrease in consciousness, acute encephalopathy (short-term brain damage), acute neurologic illness, chronic brain dysfunction (long-term brain damage), or even death.
"The well-known side-effects of the old DPT vaccines that make some parents fearful of vaccinating their children are almost always caused by the pertussis (whooping cough) component," said Dr. David Scheifele, director of the Vaccine Evaluation Centre at Children's Hospital in Vancouver.
Kathleen Stratton and her colleagues at the Institute of Medicine reported in 1994 the Diphtheria and Tetanus (DT) portions of the DPT cocktail had been causally related to anaphylactic reactions (severe allergic reactions), Guillain-Barre Syndrome (numbness of the extremities with severe forms producing various degrees of paralysis), and brachial neuritis (inflammation of the brachial nerve).

 Is your child suffering from DPT injury or vaccine injury?
DPT vaccines have been implicated in the death or permanent neurological or brain damage of some children.
To add insult to injury, a purified DPT vaccine is available that's virtually reaction-free, and has been produced and used in other countries for over 15 years, using technology the U.S. abandoned in the 1970s.
While most parents would happily pay the additional money to ensure their children's safety from DPT vaccine injury, drug companies have lobbied to delay the use of the purified DPT vaccine for as long as possible probably because it will cut into their inflated 50 percent vaccination profit margins.

 APTA | DPT Degree FAQs
All three DPT degrees are professional "clinical" doctorates and are primarily intended for those clinicians who elect to practice physical therapy or, depending on the degree, serve as academic or clinical faculty in a physical therapist professional education program.
The professional (entry-level) DPT is awarded upon completion of a physical therapist professional education program; the "transition" DPT is awarded to a physical therapist upon completion of a postprofessional education program and signifies augmented knowledge, skills, and behaviors that are equivalent to CURRENT entry-level education standards.
The professional (entry-level) DPT degree is currently conferred by institutions that are regionally accredited and fully authorized to confer the degree.

 [No title]
There, the Silvermintzes learned that a DPT shot can indeed cause death--as well as adverse reactions ranging from fever and irritability to the permanent brain damage suffered by Joshua Reed, now 13 (pictured opposite), of Great Bend, Pa. They also discovered that some batches of the vaccine cause more problems than others.
Since damage can occur with any one of the full series of five DPT shots, the odds of suffering brain damage for a child receiving all five doses of vaccine works out to one in 62,000.
And while a 1979 study may seem outdated, consider that in the U.S. the pertussis portion of the vaccine, the component that causes the damage, is little changed from the original crude formula introduced in the 1920s.

 DPT Vaccine and Chronic Nervous System Dysfunction: A New Analysis -- Executive Summary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
An Institute of Medicine (IOM) committee recently concluded that the evidence is consistent with a causal relation between vaccination with DPT and acute encephalopathy (IOM, 1991), and the excess risk was estimated to range from 0 to 10.5 per million DPT immunizations.
The NCES did not investigate the possibility of a direct relation between DPT and chronic nervous system dysfunction, that is, in the absence of a serious acute neurologic illness that occurs within 7 days after receiving DPT.
Therefore, the committee concludes that the balance of evidence is consistent witha causal relation between DPT and the forms of chronic nervous system dysfunction described in the NCES in those children who experience a serious acute neurologic illness within 7 days after receiving DPT vaccine.
